I've said this before & I'll say it again. READING FOR PLEASURE has the most powerful positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So if you want to change their lives - make books & reading central to everything you do. And let them enjoy it! #literacy

To celebrate #WorldBookDay today, we're highlighting several RSCDS publications.

Scottish country dancing is a sociable, enjoyable, and
ever-evolving dance form with roots stretching back for centuries. As a result, some dances were never written down.

Storytelling is at the heart of this and many such dances have now been recorded for future generations in RSCDS publications.

You are reader, you are a dancer. Read and #DanceScottish.

"Building a classroom library that offers “windows, mirrors and sliding glass doors” to all children is more than a numbers game. It requires thoughtful curation of who is represented and how." https://t.co/6Gon98ltff

It is so nice to snuggle up with a book at the end of the day. A nice calm moment for everyone in the whānau. We'd love to hear about your favourite bedtime books. #ReadShareGrow

We hope your Easter holiday is great, full of lovely books like this. 😊

Reading habit at age 16 linked to getting a better job later in life. No other out-of-school activity had the same effect.

Let's hear it for the piano, one of the most versatile of instruments! Scottish country dance classes are often accompanied by a single pianist, with dances and balls including the piano as part of a band #WorldPianoDay 💙

A book can take you on an adventurous journey without you even leaving your house. This story also celebrates grandparents and the stories they can create with their grandchildren. #ReadShareGrow

Bessie is a big fan of this book! Here comes the Tooth Fairy cat by Deborah Underwood & Claudia Rueda. A funny story about a cat who wants to meet the tooth fairy and tries to trick her into appearing. The tooth fairy has other ideas. The pictures are really hilarious. 🐱 ❤️
